Portland, OR (PRWEB) August, 2003 --- With children heading back to school and the importance of keeping children safe, PostalAnnex+ has teamed up with a local company, Distinctive Features LLC, to provide support in building awareness in child safety and the prevention of missing children. All Tri-County PostalAnnex+ locations will be distributing Free Child Identification and Safety Kits. There are 200 Free Kits available at each of the 22 locations.

The do-it-yourself kits include two-wallet size identification cards with an area for the childs photo, vital statistics and distinctive identification features (i.e. birthmarks, glasses), ink strip for optional fingerprinting and self-adhesive laminate sheet.

Tom Walcott, Regional Franchisee, Portland market says We are very excited about this timely offer. We believe in giving back to our community. This is a big thank you to our customers by offering them something that would aid them in case of an emergency. The development of this program is truly a team effort by all of the PostalAnnex+ stores in the Portland market."

At least 2,300 children are reported missing every day. The first hours following a childs disappearance are the most critical during a search. A prompt recovery of the missing child depends on the parent or guardians ability to immediately provide police with a complete record of identification. A photo, weight and other descriptive information are the most important statistics used to locate missing children. However, authorities estimate more than one-third of parents do not know their childrens vital statistics.
